Investigator Branch showed up today with a cryptic message

Love, Cara

What do you notice first about people? What body parts do you find particularly attractive. Some of my thoughts and questions on the subject.

AXE

I"m pretty sure of the responses I'll get, but I thought I'd ask the question.

Inspired by your interest, I go to my secret messy room. (If you see any item that sparks your curiosity feel free to ask)

Mumia fighting for his life.

my comment to traveler1967's video

Congressman Ron Paul called for an end to the Drug War and a repeal
of "most" Federal drug laws last night during the PBS Republican
Presidential Debates hosted by Tavis Smiley.

"We have already   more...spent over $400 billion since the early 70s and it's
wasted money. Prohibition didn't work; prohibition on drugs doesn't
work."

Ron Paul cited the unfair disparity between the relative percentage of
black drug users and blacks imprisoned for drug use . He called for
equal justice under the law, giving example to the system's race
based "punishments."

"Blacks make up 14% of those who use drugs, yet 36% of those
arrested are blacks and it ends up that 63% of those who finally end up
in prison are blacks. This has to change. We don't have to have more
courts and more prisons, we have to repeal the whole 'War on Drugs'-- it
isn't working," Paul said

While many other candidates admirably agreed that blacks were treated
unfairly under existing drug laws, many of their solutions included
suggestions for new courts, arbitration and rehab programs, not a
scaling-back of the failed and hypocritical 'War on Drugs' or a repeal of
Drug Laws.

"So we need to come to our senses...it's a disease. We don't treat
alcoholics like this. This is a disease and we should orient ourselves to
this," said Ron Paul.

Paul was also asked about his support for the death penalty in regards
to waning public opinion. He again cited unfair prosecution in the justice
system.

"You know, over the years, I've held pretty rigid all my beliefs, but I've
changed my opinion about the death penalty. For federal purposes, I no
longer believe in the death penalty. I believe it has been issued unjustly.
If you're rich, you get away with it; if you're poor and from the inner city,
you're more likely to be prosecuted and convicted. And today, with the
DNA evidence, there's been too many mistakes, so I am now opposed
to the federal death penalty"  less

Commercial Actor Gary Welz has appeared in a variety of roles including "911 Plane Eyewitness". In coke-bottle glasses and creep hair, his 9/11 TV appearances deliberately reinforced the official   more...story about a plane crash. He's also been actively involved in the development of TV Fakery technology and has written plays about being recruited to work for terrorist organizations, suicide bombing, and assassinations, all BEFORE 9/11. Gary is not alone in his attempts to influence people through covert means. There are other terrrorist cells functioning right now in America desperately trying to protect the media by supressing the TV Fakery evidence. Under the Patriot Act these men can be tortured and held without charges. Perhaps it's time to enforce the laws on the books. If you have received an email from Dick Eastman or Mark Bilk trying to persuade you to ignore the TV Fakery evidence, you've been a victim of a covert operation to destroy America. They thought they got away with the perfect crime. Their arrogance was their downfall.  less

Young people should be given, *as a social duty*, the wherewithal to grow in knowledge and understanding of the world in which we live. They are to be accorded a history that reflects their place in the   more...world that is, and the world to come.

To fail to do so is to commit a kind of social suicide. It is cruel. It is stupid. It is wrong. (more)  less

A new "hard-hitting" video released today by the Democratic National
Committee slams Bush's "new found interest" in Osama bin Laden on
the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and two months   more...before the mid-term
elections, after "years of hardly mentioning" the al Qaeda leader

The video shows the "Bush Administration's willingness to use fear and
smear tactics to gain political advantage in a tough election year,"
according to a DNC press release.
Published: Friday September 8, 2006

"Specifically, after years of hardly mentioning Osama bin Laden, saying
that 'he wasn't that concerned about him,' and closing down the CIA
office charged with his capture, President Bush seemed to have a new
found interest, citing the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks seventeen
different times in a speech this week," the press release continues.

"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring."


"A time comes when silence
is betrayal." That   more...time has come for us in relation to Vietnam.

"Each day the war goes on the hatred increases in the heart of the
Vietnamese and in the hearts of those of humanitarian instinct. The
Americans are forcing even their friends into becoming their enemies.
It is curious that the Americans, who calculate so carefully on the
possibilities of military victory, do not realize that in the process
they are incurring deep psychological and political defeat. The image
of America will never again be the image of revolution, freedom and
democracy, but the image of violence and militarism." (more)  less

I, MUMIA ABU-JAMAL, declare:
1. I am   more...the Petitioner in this action. If called as a witness I could and would testify to the following from my own personal knowledge:
2. I did not shoot Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. I had nothing to do with the killing of Officer Faulkner. I am innocent.
3. At my trial I was denied the right to defend myself, I had no confidence in my court-appointed attorney, who never even asked me what happened the night I was shot and the police officer was killed, and I was excluded from at least half the trial.
4. Since I was denied all my rights at my trial I did not testify. I would not be used to make it look like I had a fair trial.
5. I did not testify in the post-conviction proceedings in 1995 on the advice of my attorney, Leonard Weinglass, who specifically told me not to testify.
6. Now for the first time I have been given an opportunity to tell what happened to me in the early morning hours of December 9, 1981. This is what happened:
7. As a cabbie I often chose 13th and Locust Street because it was a popular club area with a lot of foot traffic.
8. I worked out of United Cab on the night of 12/9/81.
9. I believe I had recently returned from dropping off a fare in West Philly.
10. I was filling out my log when I heard some shouting.
11. I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw a flashing dome light of a police cruiser. This wasn't unusual.
12. I continued to fill out my log/trip sheet when I heard what sounded like gun shots.
13. I looked again into my rear view mirror and saw people running up and down Locust.
14. As I scanned I recognized my brother standing in the street staggering and dizzy.
15. I immediately exited the cab and ran to his scream.
16. As I came across the street I saw a uniformed cop turn toward me gun in hand, saw a flash and went down to my knees.
17. I closed my eyes and sat still trying to breath.
18. The next thing that I remember I felt myself being kicked, hit and being brought out of a stupor.
19. When I opened my eyes, I saw cops all around me.
20. They were hollering and cursing, grabbing and pulling on me. I felt faint finding it hard to talk.
21. As I looked through this cop crowd all around me, I saw my brother, blood running down his neck and a cop lying on his back on the pavement.
22. I was pulled to my feet and then rammed into a telephone pole beaten where I fell and thrown into a paddy wagon.
23. I think I slept until I heard the door open and a white cop in a white shirt came in cursing and hit me in the forehead.
24. I don't remember what he said much except a lot of "n-----s", "black motherfuckers" and what not.
24. I believe he left and I slept. I don't remember the wagon moving for a while and when it did for sometime.
25. I awoke to hear the driver speaking over the radio about his prisoner.
26. I was informed by the anonymous crackle on the radio that I was en route to the police administration building a few blocks away.
27. Then, it sounded like "I.D.'d as M-1" came on the radio band telling the driver to go to Jefferson Hospital.
28. Upon arrival I was thrown from the wagon to the ground and beaten.
29. I was beaten again at the doors of Jefferson.
30. Because of the blood in my lungs it was difficult to speak, and impossible to holler.
31. I never confessed to anything because I had nothing to confess to.
32. I never said I shot the policeman. I did not shoot the policeman.
33. I never said I hoped he died. I would never say something like that.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the above is true and correct and was executed by me on 3 May, 2001, at Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.
